Which Bug Tracking tools can Beanstalk work with?
e.g. so that when I check in code, I can mark it with a bug reference and it will cross-reference for me.
edit: also interested in tools that can potentially be integrated using Beanstalks Web hooks feature.
Beanstalk maintains a list on their site.

I don't know how to find code of widgets provided by Microsoft in Azure DevOps so I can edit, merge and play with them.
Already checked the documentation and google.
I don't think they are open-source. I couldn't find them on github, which is where they would be if they were. That being said, there are quite a few marketplace extension that I do know are hosted on Github. Find one that has support page linking to github that interests you.
If you haven't already, look through this documentation for adding a dashboard widget.
I'm currently working on a no-touch deployment and auto-update mechanism for a Windows application. I've tried Microsoft ClickOnce strategy but it did not work for me as the strategy only suits small-sized apps, and my application hauls at ~500MB.
I'm interested in how the stub based installation and update strategies work for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome and also Microsoft's packages including its .NET framework and VS installers. I've come across Google Omaha which hosts the Google product update deployment mechanism, but it is not very conclusive for me.
Can anybody please help me out how the stub-based deployment design works?
P.S. Any open source code for the same would be of a great help. ;-)
I'm not quite exactly sure of what you mean by "stub-based". There's a handful of technologies and tools involved in what I understand you want to accomplish. For the setup packages creation there are: NSIS, Inno Setup and the WiX Toolset, for example. A core technology is MSI. On the other hand, for application updates and the such, there's BITS and also some web stuff involved in updates publishing, like using an ATOM feed, for instance (your referenced Google Omaha might fit into this category).
It's only a bunch of pointers, but I hope it helps.
The Mozilla installer is opensource (as is the NSIS system it uses) so I'd suggest adapting the code found here: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/mozapps/installer/windows/nsis/
It's a bit complex so you could start with a simpler script and incorporate the bits you want (like finding/downloading updates and UAC evelation).
I am a lone developer working on many projects simultaneously, and keeping all these bugs in my head has become burdonsome. I've been using some "task" websites to manage my bugs for a while now, and it's been relatively sufficient. However, my current project just exploded in scope and now I need something way more robust. I currently use Mercurial and BitBucket for my version control and repo respectively, so I was hoping someone knew of something that integrated with those. At the very least, I'm looking for a free bug tracking system.
PS: aware of this question but I couldn't find anything with HG integration.
Thanks!
What about bitbucket itself? ;-) It uses some issue manager integrated.

If you are a lone developer you can just sign up for FogBugz startup edition for free:

I generally set up Bugzilla which is free, and you can do Mercurial integration via an extension. I believe that extension should install with Mercurial by default, but I don't actively use it so I can't say for sure. I don't know of a way to integrate BitBucket and Bugzilla though.
Try Dilif - https://dilif.com/
It has Github integration and says bitbucket integration is coming. Please note that it is a cloud service so you can't install on your own server. But it provides way to integrate with any website. It also provides filters and sprint dashboards too.
Is there a system similar to Bitbucket which I could self host? I've tried to look around in the net to see if there was something but I can't seem to find any. We're using Redmine right now but Redmine doesn't support multiple repositories per project.
Features of Bitbucket that I would like to be able to do would include the ability to fork a repository and to follow someone, make a pull request or something like that.
What are the good Mercurial tools out there?
Thanks a lot
I found something that's nice: you can use rhodecode. It was really nice.
Apparently the Bitbucket people do offer installations for customers, or at least that's what they said on this thread on the bitbucket-users mailing list
They are Git based rather than Mercurial, but the software for GitLab and Gitorious are open source. GitLab may now be a bit easier to setup and use than Gitorious.
Also found a really interesting project called scm manager
There was an early public hosting project called freehg for which the source was available. The site appears down, but the author probably has the source somewhere still.

BitBucket is very nice, but it is not available as download since Atlassian aquired the team.
I'm not sure if you consider commercial products, but Kiln and CodeBeamer can be options to explore:
Issue tracking, wiki, etc. are out of Kiln's scope, so you will need to keep your Redmine as well, what may or may not be an advantage.
The features you mentioned (multiple repo per project, forking, pull requests) are supported by CodeBeamer, plus it is able to replace your Redmine instance completely.
(Disclaimer: Kiln is a FogCreek product, while CodeBeamer is a commercial software developed by our company)
I've used Trac/Subversion before and really like the integration. My current project is using Mercurial for distributed development and it'd be nice to be able to track issues/bugs and have this be integrated with Mercurial. I realized this could be tricky with the nature of DVCS.
I'd also like to add Redmine to the list. I started with Trac, but I found the mercurial support (and the administrative interface for everything) to be much better in Redmine.
FogBugz has tight integration with Mercurial through their Kiln product.
TracMercurial integrates Trac with Mercurial. Assembla provides free Mercurial hosting with Trac integration.
The idea is that you have a central repository as your master and upload all the subsidiary changes from local repositories into the main one.
BugTracker.NET now supports Mercurial integration in the same way it supports Subversion and git. BugTracker.NET is a free, open source, ASP.NET bug tracking system.
Other free, open source bug trackers that support Mercurial:
Trac -
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracMercurial
Redmine -
http://www.redmine.org/wiki/1/RedmineRepositories
Roundup -
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Hook. The Mercurial development team themselves use Roundup.
There is also a plugin to integrate Mercurial with Jira. See the webpage for the plugin.
Mantis has a beta integration for Mercurial: blog-post
and code.
Bugs Everywhere is a distributed bugtracking system that supports Mercurial.
Jira integrates using a plugin. Its a great tool.

I just put together a command-line bug tracker called b for Mercurial which, although it's not as powerful as Trac and the like, is exactly what a lot of situations call for. It's best feature is how easy it is to set up - install the Mercurial extension, and all your repos have a bug tracker at their disposal. I find this incredibly useful on smaller projects that I can't/don't want to set up with a fully fledged tracker living on a server somewhere, just hg b and go.
There's a BugzillaExtension for adding a comment to a Bugzilla bug each time you mention its number.
I recently developed a Trac plugin that integrates some Mercurial functionality that TracMercurial Plugin doesn't support yet, it's called TracMercurialChangesetPlugin. It allows you to search in your changesets, to have the cache synced, to view a changelog in your related tickets...

If you're open to another suggestion, you can try Artemis.
Though I haven't used it yet, it looks easy enough.
